There was a discussion tonight about changes to build systems (e.g. pycentral/pysupport to dh_python2 or cdbs to dh) and if they require an FFe. I have always thought they did, but at least one developer was suprised. IMO fixing a broken build system is one thing, redesigning it post-FF is another (I've already uploaded on fix to the archive for a package that was uploaded and built an empty package due to a faulty dh_python2 transition). This should probably be clarified. Scott K -- Ubuntu-release mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-release
